Businesses and organisations in every sector have to ensure compliance with environmental law and try to minimise their exposure to risks of environmental liability.
The Environment Agency is increasingly taking action to enforce environmental regulations through the Courts and require works to be undertaken to address harm or the risk of harm to the environment. Contaminated land, pollution of water and waste management offences are all subject to stringent legislation and potentially big fines. Directors and senior managers of companies, surveyors and land agents can all be held personally liable to non-compliance with environmental law.
Managing the risks of prosecution and heavy clean-up costs is very important for any business, as is knowing what to do if enforcement action is taken by the Environment Agency or a local authority. The law of statutory nuisance is equally applicable in the context of protection of the environment and human health from industrial activity.
